The Anchorage School District (“ASD”), has the right and duty to oversee and control its facilities and property.   Like private property owners, ASD may legally preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is dedicated.  Additionally, simply because a public entity owns property does not automatically open that property to the public.  ASD has the right to both preclude visitors or to restrict their visits under certain circumstances. 

As a part of my visit, I recognize that I may intentionally or inadvertently be given access to confidential information, including personal information related to students, such as grades, academic evaluations, disciplinary records, psychological assessments, attendance, and the like. This information may be considered confidential pursuant to state and federal law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).  In consideration of being admitted as a visitor to property within ASD, I agree to hold in the strictest confidence any confidential information that is disclosed to me. I will not remove any document, equipment or other materials from the premises without the ASD’s written permission. I will not photograph or otherwise record any information to which I may have access during my visit. 

ASD is committed to the well-being and safety of all visitors.  However, as with anything, there are always risks associated with being on the property.  I understand that even with detailed planning, preparation, and optimal safe conditions, things can be unpredictable, occasionally chaotic, and possibly dangerous.  For instance, behaviors or actions by a student, ASD staff, or another visitor may cause damage to your property or result in an injury.  Likewise, conditions on school property may contribute to a visitor’s property damage or injury.  ASD asks its guests to assume responsibility for all risks – inherent or otherwise – as a condition of entering the property.

As a condition of entering ASD property, ASD asks you (and anyone that could legally stand in your place) to ASSUME ALL RISKS arising from being on ASD property, and to agree to RELEASE ASD and its agents from liability stemming from your injuries, even when such injuries are caused by ASD’s negligence, mistakes or uncontrollable conditions or circumstances, whether related to inherent risks or otherwise.  ASD asks that you also agree to indemnify and hold ASD harmless for any claims arising out of your presence in, on or around ASD property.
